Perseus

2

Περσεύς, son of Zeus and Danaë, cast into the sea in a chest by Acrisius of Argos and preserved by fate. Slayer of Medusa through reflection and divine aid. Rescuer of Andromeda. Founder of Mycenae in some traditions. Ancestor of Herakles. This portrayal follows early Greek myth sources rather than modern reinterpretations. Expect Bronze Age heroic mentality, polytheistic theology, and acknowledgment of chthonic symbolism surrounding the Gorgons. Divine power, cunning strategy, and the pursuit of kleos define him.
